Good outdoor temperature?

What is a good outdoor temp. for when they're outside?

I know they can overheat fast, and if it's too cold they will get sick.

Within a couple weeks I'm going to be building a huge 8 feet by 4 feet outdoor run for them underneath my old tree that no matter what time of day, it's always shaded. I will also have pieces of plywood on top to provide extra shade and covering.

*they would NOT be living out there, just for an hour or so to stretch their legs and munch on grass*

I live in Florida, so I would have to take them out normally around 6 ish right before the sun goes down, but what is the ideal outdoor piggie temp?



*sorry, I didn't see a previous post for temperature, mods you can delete this if you'd like*

Re: Good outdoor temperature?

65-75F is the ideal temperature for pigs indoors or outdoors. Anything over 80F can cause/contribute to heatstroke.
